Several representations of geometric shapes involve quotients of mapping spaces. The projection onto the quotient space defines two sub-bundles of the tangent bundle, called the horizontal and vertical bundle. We investigate in these notes…

Weighted projective space arises when we consider the usual geometric definition for projective space and allow for non-trivial weights. On its own, this extra freedom gives rise to more than enough interesting phenomena, but it is the fact…

We suggest an effective procedure to calculate numerical invariants for rank two bundles over blown-up surfaces. We study the moduli spaces M_j of bundles on the blown-up plane splitting over the exceptional divisor as O(j)+O(-j). We use…

Tangent categories are categories equipped with a tangent functor: an endofunctor with certain natural transformations which make it behave like the tangent bundle functor on the category of smooth manifolds. They provide an abstract…

In this note, we consider how the bundle geometry of field space interplays with the covariant phase space methods so as to allow to write results of some generality on the presymplectic structure of invariant gauge theories coupled to…

A noncommutative-geometric generalization of the theory of principal bundles is sketched. A differential calculus over corresponding quantum principal bundles is analysed. The formalism of connections is presented. In particular, operators…

This talk introduces a Cartan-geometric framework for generalised geometries governed by a differential graded Lie algebra. In contrast to ordinary Cartan geometry, the tangent bundle is extended and qu both a global duality group and a…

This article provides a pedagogically oriented introduction to geometric (Clifford) calculus on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. Unlike usual approaches to the topic, which rely on embedding the geometric algebra either within a tensor algebra…

In the paper a Riemannian structure on the tangent bundle is defined by using a statistical structure $(g,\nabla)$ on the base manifold. Expressions for various curvatures of the structure are derived. Some rigidity results of the structure…

We argue for more widespread use of manifold-like polyfolds (M-polyfolds) as differential geometric objects. M-polyfolds possess a distinct advantage over differentiable manifolds, enabling a smooth and local change of dimension. To…

Let M be a paracompact smooth manifold of dimension n; A a Weil algebra and M^A the Weil bundle associated. We define and describe the notion of \widetilded-Poisson cohomology and of \widetilded^A -Poisson cohomology on M^A.

A linear F-manifold is an F-manifold (E, \circ , e) defined on the total space of a vector bundle \pi : E \rightarrow M for which the multiplication and unit field are linear tensor fields. We develop a systematic treatment of linear…

For a Riemannian manifold $M$, we determine some curvature properties of a tangent bundle equipped with the rescaled metric.The main aim of this paper is to give explicit formulae for the rescaled metric on $TM$, and investigate the…

Any leafwise connection on a fibre bundle over a foliated manifold is proved to come from a connection on this fibre bundle.

In this paper we describe the algebra of differential invariants for GL(n,C)-structures. This leads to classification of almost complex structures of general positions. The invariants are applied to the existence problem of…

We describe the (complex) quaternionic geometry encoded by the embeddings of the Riemann sphere, with nonnegative normal bundles.

Higher bundles are homotopy coherent generalisations of classical fibre bundles. They appear in numerous contexts in geometry, topology and physics. In particular, higher principal bundles provide the geometric framework for higher-group…

We give a general review of extended supergravities and their gauging using the duality-covariant embedding tensor formalism. Although the focus is on four-dimensional theories, an overview of the gauging procedure and the related tensor…

We introduce Lie-Nijenhuis bialgebroids as Lie bialgebroids endowed with an additional derivation-like object. They give a complete infinitesimal description of Poisson-Nijenhuis groupoids, and key examples include Poisson-Nijenhuis…
